Document Summary
Visa 110 - lab 1 - technical background knowledge. Conceptual art is art for which the idea (or concept) behind the work is more important than the finished art object. Image is an organized grid of pixels that make an image. Each individual pixel contains speci c information, and when arranged in their particular order, it creates a highly detailed, photographic, image. Analog: use film, emulsion on a plastic surface. Digital: use ccd (charge-couple device, a chip converts light coming through the lens into electrons, then records these into pixels. They are square and stack horizontally and vertically to form a grid. When stacked in their particular order, it creates an image: each pixel contains important information to the creation of an image. The ccd of a digital camera captures this information different cameras capture different numbers of pixels, and thus different amounts of information.
